If I can get over stupid sinus infection I will be there. Ridden a bit out there but it'll be nice to get a tour from some reglurs. I bet noosa2 will want to ride too since that is in his neck of the desert. I'll send him a page. Dang...gonna have to get up at like 3 to be there at kickoff

So, just went and did some maintenance on the bike. All good, minor stuff, some other minor stuff that can be done or can wait. Took the bike for a little ride around the neighborhood. Trying to pick the front wheel up over a curb is really painful. Climbing ledges might not work so well.

At least you'll have one he'll of an excuse why you didn't make ledges!

I was thinking of doing such a route myself...but 5AM...dang that's early! Do you have a route planned yet? I might roll from my house and try to meet you all on the trail. Or I could just get my lazy ass out of bed and ride over to the 40th St trailhead.

Ugh. So, on the first drop my hand involuntarily lets go of the bars. This causes a tumble. Guess it wasn't quite ready yet. Rather than continue, decided to turn back. Now even the little embedded rock bumps hurt. Oh well. Temperatures were nice at 5:00am!

Another good time with the NCC. Thanks for the tour de hairball et al. The ride down the staircase was awesome! Now I know what to expect so will give a better effort at the folley and chutes next time. Thx for posting up Drew

Hey, my next weekend out of town is July 16th & 17th. Why don't you guys go ahead and start planning something for that weekend now...

Where's the video? I don't at least get to see how much fun I missed? :FAIL:

I had the camera and my ride ended about 2 minutes after turning it on which was right at the start of the good stuff. On the first real drop (minor ones didn't seem to bother it) my right hand simply let go of the bars. There was no pain, it just wouldn't stay clamped. Anyway, that caused me to get off the bike ungracefully. Even though the fall was not hard at all, I of course landed on the hand that was already injured even though I tucked it in as I fell. There was no continuing after that. I could barely pick up the bike.

So, that is why no video for you, and by the way the wrist feels, no good riding for me for a while, maybe just T100 stuff. Oh well, better than nothing I suppose.

Working the Ironman race. Awesome place. One of the most scenic areas I've seen. I'd love to return to actually enjoy it when I don't have to work.

Yeah if you have an extra 30 min to hour if you have not already the hike around Tubbs hill is nice. Sanders Beach use to a lot of drinking and swimming on that beach. I plan on shipping my bike up there and doing a few rides. Use to ride motorcycles there growing up. Canfield mountain.
